Gilkes Energy Ltd (GEL) specializes in the development of hydro power projects in the UK, especially joint ventures with landowners. Building upon the 160 year track record of our parent company Gilbert Gilkes & Gordon Ltd (GGG) we have put together a highly-skilled development team which includes a full suite of engineering, commercial, financial and legal expertise ‘under one roof'. Along with providing funding packages to help our partners finance their hydro project we also manage the project through its five phases: 1. Feasibility. 2. Permitting and planning. 3. Commercial and financial close. 4. Construction. 5. Operations and maintenance. To date we have helped landowners fund and develop 11 hydro projects in the range 500kW to 2MW which are now generating, and have a further approximate 20MW at various stages of development. In early 2013 we opened a second office in Glasgow and recruited three senior project managers and civil engineers. This new team has more than 25 years’ experience specialising in hydropower project development and will allow us to deliver multiple projects in parallel.
